What of it?
The RS200 lives up the Pulsar legacy – a motorcycle which appeals to the masses, is commuter friendly, fairly affordable, fairly fast, and has great street cred to boot. Longer jaunts are welcome too, but we suggest you save it for the AS200. The styling is mega when it comes to sapping attention, the refinement stellar, performance brisk and the ergonomics spot-on. At Rs 1.18 lakh for the non-ABS version and at Rs 1.30 lakh for the ABS version, ex-Delhi, the RS makes a compelling case for itself. In the city, which should be its natural habitat, the RS performs great with all intents and purposes. Personally, the styling isn’t up my alley, and nor are the overall levels of fit and finish. The RS200 shares much of its mechanicals with the existing Pulsar , so it isn’t much of a revolution, but what an evolution!
It isn’t a full-bore sports bike by any means, but a capable, fast and comfortable premium commuter, which tries to veil its character by looking overtly sporty – but the latter just increases its appeal to fans of the brand and beyond, so it’s understandable.
